Significant hike  Medium hike (1km-10km) 
A decent hike if you are parked at the end of Sturgeon Road. A couple miles if you are at 11 Mile State Park.  And there are other geocache opportunities within 11 Mile State Park. Congrats to CdirtO for FTF!
Improve your bearings at 11 Mile with a hike into this meadow with hidden treasures.  If you have already found 11 Mile Bears Watching #1, you are looking for another bearing tree that will provide you the hint to locate the cache, a small camo container with a log and some goodies.  Be on the lookout for an Indian Prayer Tree within a few hundred yards of the reference point - if you find it, take a photo and post it!

This was my second trip to 11 Eleven Mile State Park area because there are a number of interesting caches in the area. I had formally dubbed today “11M Run Phase 2,” but informally the “Replacement Run” from all of the caches I wound up repairing today. This cache was on my target list because it had a good D/T combination and it looked fun. I started my hike from the “secret” parking spot near GC3NZ5X 11 Mile Bears Watching #2 traditional cache. Soon after starting, I passed three hunting zeroing their rifles for the upcoming season. I have to say I enjoyed “the stroll” for this cache…wide open, alpine fields. I was definitely a good break from rocky trails, boulder scrambling, and heart pounding elevation change. While you do have to do a bearing projection for this one, I also enjoyed doing an honest multi-cache. I think there are too many puzzle protected multicaches in Colorado and I wish people understood the difference between puzzle and multicaches better. This was on my list today because true multicaches are relatively rare, so I did not pass up the opportunity here. Despite its age, the cache container is still in great shape. It was a bonus that this one was lonely as well, because I keep track of those stats for challenges. With this find, I now have (counting only 1 year or more lonely) a total of 162 years, 2 months lonely time on 74 caches from 11 North American States & Provinces. Thanks to the CO for placing this cache and putting together such a nice multicache, TFTC.

We found it more by our spidey senses than compass bearing, but I think we hit all the right spots along the way... Giving this one a favorite.
